T0 aZZ whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, MATHIs HELLIOH, a subject of the German Emperor,residing at Guensbach, Alsace, Germany, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Devices for Applying Cops to Loom ShuttleSpindles, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention has reference to degices for applying cops toloom-shuttle spin- By means of this new device the threadcoils arepressed close together and the nose of the spindle is freed, thusobviating the initial unwinding of this spindle end and reducing therebythe weft waste to almost nothing. The cop, furthermore, if wet iscompressed or condensed. The weft thereby is evenly saturated with thefatty liquid, and an evenly-wetted-through woof is obtained.

A further advantage of my improvement consists in, doing away with thenecessity of placing the cop on the spindle by hand, which always moreor less tires the operator.

In order to make the invention more readily understood, I haveillustrated it on the accompanying sheets of drawings, in which- Figure1 represents a side view of my device, partly in section. Fig. 3represents a section through the shuttle, the drip-cup, and adjacentparts anda side elevation of the cop with spindle. Fig. 4 is a detailplan view; and Fig. 5, a side elevation of Fig. 3, partly in section.

To the loom-frame b is secured in suitable manner the bracket a,carrying a bearing a d,-

in which slides the roller 6, to which is fulcrumed at f the forkedhand-lever g. To the latter is pivotally secured at h the pin Z and alsothe guide-sleeve i, which latter and a ring 1 surround and slide on therod 7c, rigidly secured to the bracket a. A cup m, having a perforatedbottom, is rigidly secured to the plate w, underlying the bracket 0., bymeans of a nut 12, while the trough or drip-pan n is detachably securedto'ribs t on the bracket a. An adjustable stop-ledge s limits thedownstroke of the lever g.

As shown in Fi 5, the s indle p is removably and pivotalIy journa ed onthe pin :12,

'dle in the respective position.

Fig. 2 1s a plan 716W;-

extending transversely through the shuttlerecess, a spring y serving toretain the spin- For the purpose of introducing the spindle p into a copthe former is swung out rectangularly to the shuttle, as shown in Fig.5, and is partly introduced into the cop. The lower end of the cop isthen placed into the cup m and the hand-lever g moved downwardly,swinging about its receding pivot f. The pin Z descends parallel to therod 7c and enters the lon itudinal slot provided in the shuttlewafi,bears upon the spring y, and presses the shuttle, with the spindle,downward, forcing the spindle still farther into the cop and jamming thelower end of the cop in turn into the cup m until the stop-ledge sarrests further down motion. In case the cop is wet the humidity will beevenly pressed through it and finally run off into the cup m and throughthe perforated bottom of the latter into the drip-pan n. A plate aprevents the liquid from squirting about. The lever 9 can obviously beoperated by foot or other power. Upon the cop having been treated inthis manner the lever g is raised again and the shuttle removed. Thespindle, with the cop,

is then laid over into the shuttle and the latter placed in theshuttle-race in well-known manner.

What I claim is 1. A device for placing cops on the spindle secured tothe shuttle, comprising in combination, a bracket, a rollerslide-bearing, a lever operating in said bearing, a pin pivotallysecured to said lever, means for insuring vertical down motion of saidpin, a shuttle,a spindle pivotally secured thereto, a conical cup withperforated bottom to receive the lower end of the cop, a detachabledrip-pan, means to prevent the liquid from squirting about, andadjustable means to limit the operation of said lever, substantially asand for the purpose set forth.

2. A device of the type set forth, comprising a frame, a cup thereon, asplash-fender in proximity to the cup, a drip-pan, and means forexpressing moisture from a cop held in said cup.

3. A device of the type set forth, compris- In testimony whereof I afiixmy signature in presence of two Witnesses.
